Zephaniah 3:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 I will gather those who are (A)worried about the appointed feasts—
They [a]came from you, Zion;
The disgrace of exile is a burden on [b]them.
19 Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your (B)oppressors;
I will save (C)those who limp
And gather the scattered,
And I will turn their (D)shame into (E)praise and fame
In all the earth.
20 At that time I will (F)bring you in,
Even at the time when I gather you together;
Indeed, I will make you (G)famous and praiseworthy
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I (H)restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
American Standard Version
18 [a]I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon [b]her was a reproach. 19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth. 20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I [c]bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.
